At Umoja Foundation Group we understand the international volunteer program as a method of awareness and leaning to breakdown typecast and preconceived ideas.collaborating directly with the local project,in a respectful way, working as a team,dialoguing and internalizing the ways of doing the local culture,the volunteer becomes an agent of change upon their return.To do this, we look for committed people, willing to learn, openminded, with critical vision and who want to collaborate from humility, empathy and with ease of adaptation to change.We are a project that is founded, maintain and advances all year round, with highly trained workers in the area who are observing some problems present in their society,decide to take action to change it.Therefore, the work of the volunteer in the field focuses on support and reinforcement tasks to those that are currently being developed.The main purpose is to know about their reality and accept the difference, breaking a part with the ethnocentric vision so common in western culture.As much as possible our strength to their work but accepting our secondary role within a project arises from and for the population in the target region.Umoja Foundation Group proposes volunteering as a means for people to broaden their vision so that,when they return they can contribute to work on their day to day basis to fight against global structural inequality.If you feel identified with our way of seeing volunteering and want to become a field Umoja Foundation Group volunteer,drop us an email foundationumoja@gmail.com
